DIGITAL, IRL — THE FIRST EDITION OF BERLIN NEW MEDIA WEEK

DIGITAL, IRL — THE FIRST EDITION OF BERLIN NEW MEDIA WEEK

If there’s one place that knows how to celebrate its creatives, it’s Berlin. The list of creative events is extensive. But what about digital creativity? That’s where Berlin New Media Week steps in, carving space for digital artists, curators, and technologists alike. For five days (03.–07.09.2025), Berlin’s galleries, clubs, and cultural spaces will transform to showcase cutting-edge digital art that pushes the boundaries of media art and electronic music. Program highlights include, but are by no means limited to: “Artistic Interventions in History-telling” at DOCK11, a workshop exploring digital art’s role in shaping how we construct and understand history; “Digital Nature” at B-Dome’s 19-meter geodesic sphere, an immersive audiovisual night; and “Intelligent Kin” at MaHalla, an exhibition of installations, interactive systems, and speculative AI artworks. And how could we forget the Launch Party, kicking off at 19:30 on Wednesday (03.09.)! TRANSONIC, Ninon x Victor, and Pauric Freeman will present three future-forward audiovisual performances at Studio111 – get your ticket here. So do what Berliners do best and celebrate the creativity community with the first edition of Berlin New Media Week.

MORE THAN FORM & FUNCTION — THE NEW PODCAST SEASON ABOUT BAUHAUS

MORE THAN FORM & FUNCTION — THE NEW PODCAST SEASON ABOUT BAUHAUS

Everyone knows Bauhaus: cradle of modernism, mother of big names, source of endless stories. And yet there is still more to discover. About Bauhaus, the podcast from the Bauhaus Archive / Museum of Design, returns with a new season and gets up close and personal. The first three episodes explore three major themes: love, technology, and society. A new perspective on the school that continues to inspire us is released every third Thursday of the month. Art historian Adriana Kapsreiter, together with changing guests from the worlds of art, culture, and science, transforms Bauhaus into a sounding board for big questions. The first episode focuses on love. Guests include Danielle de Picciotto, co-founder of the Love Parade, and musician Alexander Hacke, formerly of Einstürzende Neubauten. Together, they discuss passion in art and the famous couples of the Bauhaus. Episode two is dedicated to technology: What is a tool, what is a machine, and how does innovation transform the artistic process? The third episode, perhaps the most pressing, turns to society. Guest Inken Baller, one of Berlin’s most influential architects, reflects on her work in social housing construction and broader visions for living together. And the journey continues, from the social ideals of the New Building movement to playful experiments and connections with nature. Each episode opens a new door to the questions that preoccupied the Bauhaus 100 years ago and that still challenge us today. Fortunately, much has changed since then.

WHAT DOES SUMMER SOUND LIKE? THE NEUE NATIONALGALERIE INVITES YOU TO SOUNDSCAPES

WHAT DOES SUMMER SOUND LIKE? THE NEUE NATIONALGALERIE INVITES YOU TO SOUNDSCAPES

Summer is back, along with everything that makes it Berlin’s best season: trips to the outdoor pool during your lunch break, ice cream at midnight, open-air concerts. From 27.–30.08.2025, the Neue Nationalgalerie provides the perfect backdrop for an open-air sound experience. As part of the Soundscapes in the Garden event series, live concerts will take place across three evenings, curated by Gregor Quack in collaboration with Tessa Nijdam and the CTM Festival. London-based electronic artist Loraine James will kick things off on Wednesday (27.08.) with dancer and musician Tom Heyes (better known as Blackhaine). A special highlight will be the performance by techno romantic Pantha du Prince on Friday(29.08.). In keeping with the setting, he will present his album Garden Gaia, exploring the relationship between humans and nature.

Limpe Fuchs, renowned for her improvised sound since the 1970s, will also perform that evening. She builds her instruments to create compositions that have never been heard before. Fujiko Nakaya’s fog sculpture (see our article about it here) will take center stage in the garden of the Neue Nationalgalerie during the Long Night of Museums on Saturday (30.08.). As gently and swirlingly as her clouds of mist drift through the garden, music will unfold in the air. On the hour, when the fog rises, sound installations will play in parallel. While pianist Ryuichi Sakamoto composed pieces especially for Nakaya shortly before her death, Alva Noto (the pseudonym of Carsten Nicolai) and guitarist Stephen O’Malley rework them. Summer hasn’t sounded this creative in a long time!

TIMELOOP UNDER THE STARS — CEE CEE X HINGE MOONLIGHT MOVIE NIGHT

TIMELOOP UNDER THE STARS — CEE CEE X HINGE MOONLIGHT MOVIE NIGHT

Summer evenings in Berlin have their own magic and call for open-air moments! And it’s best when there’s a big screen flickering somewhere in the dark. Movies in the moonlight? Yes, please. Together with Hinge, the dating app designed to be deleted, we at Cee Cee have created Moonlight Movie Night (29.08.2025). For this event, Studio C, located directly on the water at Rummelsburger Bucht, will be transformed into an open-air cinema. Of course, it’s about more than just movies: on deck chairs by the water, with a view of the sunset, there’s room for good company – before and after the movie. The film “Palm Springs” (2020) will be shown for this one-night-only event: a romantic comedy that retells the classic time loop plot with dry humor and a lot of heart – perfect to laugh and connect. Classic cinema snacks will also be provided, of course – popcorn, ice cream, and maybe a little spark? Bring a friend, bring a lover, bring a partner. We promise: You’ll have a good time. And best of all, admission is free: you can join the evening with one of the limited tickets we’re giving away: 50 tickets, always in sets of two. And if you’re not in Berlin, the Moonlight Movie Night is also taking place in Hamburg (25. & 26.08.) – under the same stars, on a different shore.

FLASHBULB VIGNETTES — PHOTOGRAPHER FENG LI AT FOTOGRAFISKA BERLIN

FLASHBULB VIGNETTES — PHOTOGRAPHER FENG LI AT FOTOGRAFISKA BERLIN

When you look at one of Feng Li’s photographs – a man smashing his head into a windscreen, an operatic woman swishing on a smoggy rooftop – you don’t feel warmth or belonging. Whatever’s happening in the Chinese-born photographer’s images, it’s not happening for you. That’s what makes his photos so compelling. The camera captures the oddness of what is already there under stark, flattening flash – nothing beautified, nothing explained. Feng Li has spent two decades photographing street scenes in cities like Chengdu, Tokyo and Berlin, creating a body of eccentric work now being shown at the exhibition White Nights in Wonderland at Fotografiska Berlin. To mark its opening, Feng Li will be giving an artist talk with exhibition curator Holly Roussell on 22.08.2025 (starts 19h). Event tickets include entry to the talk, book signing and a first look at the exhibition. Around 150 of Feng Li’s works are on display, including several never before shown in Berlin. Clinical yet theatrical, the photographs expose the strangeness of everyday life. You could stare at them for hours.
